When my German friend came for a visit, he arrived bearing gifts - mostly food and drink. It turns out that he had also been informed by a mutual friend that I am rather partial to pistachio nuts, so he bought three bags for me. Two packs had the shells on, but one was salted and the other simply roasted. The third pack contained shelled pistachios. Shelled and skinned, but unroasted and unsalted.

| (In answer to your unspoken question, yes, they are meant to be green. They're also one of the healthiest nuts you can eat and they last ages.) |
When I opened the pack of shelled nuts, to see such a vivid green was interesting. Julie was a tad perturbed, until I pointed out that was how they were when free of shell, skin and salt.
I tell you - I nearly choked on my nuts.
Um.
Perhaps I should rephrase that...
